32 Best Chicken Wings in San Francisco

“Delicious pizza, friendly people! 🙂“

“Great food and service. I highly recommend this place for date night, family and friends. The only downside is parking is hard to come by in this neighborhood.“

“I'm gonna give an average of 4 stars based on other people's reviews. We were tourist to the area and were looking for a halal joint to eat. We decided to come here. Upon arriving, we looked around and found ourselves in what I would describe as skid row. We decided we weren't gonna stay and unload the kids and eat there because we thought we would get murdered.

After reading all the reviews, I really wish we did order and try their food“

“Nice place to watch sports“

“Hot Sauce & Panko is definitely top 5 wings in the city. From the size of the wings to the crispiness and flavor options you can’t go wrong here.
Bourbon bacon wrapped is my go to always and now they have a hot version and a plain Jane bacon wrapped.
This time around I also went with the waffle & wings combo. Tried the Al pastor and they were awesomeness.
The last flavor which was basic but still perfection were the Salt and pepper wings.
15 premium wings and a waffle you can’t beat it.
Have patience or go to wingstop!

Parking: Parking is available on the street but is usually taken especially in the evening. Not impossible tho.

Kid-friendliness: The flavors may be extreme but you can get plain and windows like a great waffle

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible and welcomed“

“Mashita Galbi Jjim, located on Polk Street in San Francisco, is a cozy Korean eatery known for its signature dish, the galbi jjim (braised short ribs). This dish, priced at $66, is a standout. It features tender short ribs served in a bubbling pot, accompanied by carrots, tteokbokki (Korean rice cakes), and a melted cheese topping caramelized with a blowtorch. It’s hearty and perfect for sharing, as one order easily feeds three to four people. The plump mandu (dumplings) are also recommended as a complementary side dish.

The atmosphere is informal, making it a great spot for casual dinners. However, the restaurant’s popularity can result in wait times, particularly during peak hours, such as evenings and weekends. Some patrons have noted slower service during busy periods but praised the staff's friendly demeanor despite being overwhelmed. The interior is compact but comfortable, with simple yet functional decor.

Mashita Galbi Jjim is praised for its authentic flavors and high-quality ingredients. Other menu options include pork tonkatsu and beef plates, but the galbi jjim remains the star. For those seeking a satisfying, shareable meal with bold Korean flavors, this restaurant is a solid choice. If planning to visit during dinner hours, arriving early or expecting a wait is advised.

While some diners have commented on service challenges during peak times, the generous portions and flavorful dishes make it a must-visit for fans of Korean cuisine.“

“I ordered food to go from Doordash so can’t tell much about the in house experience but wow it didn’t disappoint. Food was fresh and tasted great. I got the Mexican pizza and the flavor was amazing. The lemon pepper chicken nuggets actually tasted like lemon and peppers for once. Great place and they are open until late to satisfy the late night cravings.“

“I chose this spot for a girls’ brunch out I organized because it could accommodate a large group up to 10 people and the online reservation system through Toast was flexible, allowing me to make modifications leading up to and even during the week of our reservation date.

I’m very satisfied with this place as a brunch option. I prefer Asian fusion brunch to other brunch cuisines, so this place was ideal. Also, various members in my party, including myself, have dietary restrictions, but this place is allergy friendly and accommodates special diets as well, so there ended up being something for everyone, and everyone in my group liked the food.

One of my friends who’d been here before ordered the poached chicken porridge/congee. Out of everything on the menu, it sounded the best and seemed reasonably healthy, so I got that as well. It was delicious and reminded me of the congee I was served on a Singapore Airlines flight a couple years ago. While a bit pricey, the portion was large, so it was a decent value.

So far, this has been one of my better brunch experiences in SF and probably one of the only places I would return to.“

“Had the best experience at the new foghorn divisadero location on monday night. The bartender was extremely helpful and did a great job of suggesting wise upsales which im happy we went with. The food was delicious. When the comeback sauce mixes with the hot nashville oil on your sandwhich, youre going to have a good time.“

“Please do yourself a favor and try their wings. Absolutely delicious. Super crunchy and full of flavor. They claim to have to hottest wings in the Bay Area. I’m too much of a chicken but I dare you.“

“food is great. wine is great as well. my friends and I had a great time 🌹🥰“

“Great friendly service and great food !“

“Food was good with great portion sizes for the money.

A lot of food combinations that I’ve never heard of/had before. I’m guessing the chief(s), family, etc may be from Fujian Province, China? Authentic Southern Chinese cuisine.

The Bitter Mellon with Catfish is one of the few items I’m familiar with…the other picture is of the Tofu/Pork soup which was also very good.

Definitely will be back. Hakka Pride! ????“

“Discounted noodles at end of day (5$ per box; normally $7 per pound)
No Seating
Great Crispy BBQ Pork $14/pd
Mediocre BBQ Duck $16/hald; $31/full
Chicken feet - a bit too salty, no vinegar, sauce provided separately is sour dthough

Wheelchair accessibility: It's cramped inside. If there are other customers, unlikely that a wheelchair can fit“

“Nice neighborhood sports bar, right across the street from the Roxie theater. Long bar seating on one side, tables on the other. Lots of TVs, 24 beer taps (only about 16 in use at my visit), decent back bar selection, and even a good choice of rums. Good sized wings with great buffalo sauce, mozz sticks could be better, but are ok. Food prices are a little high.“

“Been coming here since 2020, I absolutely love this location. Great food and beer selection. Its also nice to be able to sit outside and still get audio for whatever game is playing. The only thing I miss (and I do miss it dearly) are the roasted half chickens they used to do here.“

“Um, this smash burger was 11/10! Amazingly griddled patty with melty cheese, crisp iceberg, a perfect bun, and super thin onion for the cut. Only have had ordered in so not sure about actual restaurant but highly recommend for the burger factor! Simplot tots came crispy in delivery, too!“

“This place is great! Staff was cool, food terrific and they support Meals on Wheels. Super place!“

“Born and raised here in the city I HAD to try Minnie Bells.I had the two piece combo with candied yams and Mac N cheese it was so good that I placed a to go order of the exact same thing for later.Now I’m on Door dash placing the same thing for today I swear this food is so good ,restaurant clean ,staff is amazing can’t wait to take my mom.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes the facility is wheelchair accessible.“

“OMG, I just moved to the area and tried their pizza… good is not enough to describe. Fantastic flavors“

“My go-to place for cheap eating in the City!“

“Pizza with a little salty dough but it's not a problem because the rest is very tasty, neither high nor low, good mozzarella for the price, oregano not of high quality, the locals like it a lot, while an Italian might vaguely remember the frozen one but a little ' Better. I have to say that it remains good considering the place where it is located.
Ps
Coke on tap tastes like chlorine, I think it's better to use barrel water and not tap water.“

“Tell me why when I first opened the delivery box of galbi boneless chicken and stabbed what I thought was a French fry with my fork, I literally did a chew double-take and removed the tteokbokki from my mouth because my taste buds were so thrown off from what I was expecting. I really should’ve known better, but I’m accustomed to seeing tteokbokki drenched in a gochujang based sauce, so they deceptively resembled fries. To be fair, from this experience, I learned they taste way better dry and seasoned, but I digress.

Onto the main part of the review…

As I’ve written in a couple other reviews this week, I’m “researching” the best Korean fried chicken spots in San Francisco to determine which to order from for an upcoming Friendsgiving. I looked up a ton of options in the city and narrowed them down to a shortlist of 3 spots, this place included. A few things I examined to create my short list were varieties/flavours of chicken, quantity to price ratio, other customer ratings, images of the chicken, and proximity to my neighborhood or deliverability to my friends’ neighborhood where the Friendsgiving will be hosted.

When I took the first bite of K Soul chicken, I knew I’d found a winner. I’m very particular about KFC having spent the last few years living in LA and Orange County, home to copious dedicated KFC restaurants. K Soul’s chicken tastes the most similar to my favourite spots in SoCal. It has the perfect texture and crunch, the meat is neither dry nor greasy, and the umami flavor is on point. They’ve created a perfectly balanced KFC, and that’s why I’ll be taking this to Friendsgiving.“

“Been coming since they first open and I know and read it’s hit or miss on service depends on the day and person working but for my years of experience I’ve always enjoyed it. As long they get the usual food I order right and on time, on top of that food and dessert is good than this place is a four star for me. They don’t need to check on us or serve us like kings or queens because it’s a Hong Kong dessert house people. It’s not Gary danko with a $$$$ sign. The price is good. I usually get the egg puff which is better than all egg puff location even eggette. The HK milk tea is good but not as good as honk kong, fried garlic chicken wings, soy sauce wings,ham egg sandwich and mix fruits. Oh their green tea ice cream is a no no but vanilla is fine. They use the same batter for the waffle as the egg puff which is so yummy! Moving on that’s my usual order which has kept me going here for years. Wish they open earlier but I know they cater to the late people.“

“The owners/staff are great people, always respectful and attentive to all customers & order requests (such as fixing an issue with an order of sandwiches & fried oreos my family and I ordered before, and made it up in an awesome way), & always have the most convenient food items possible. 10 out of 10 establishment!“

“awesome food! (dothan, AL) the team dome an awesome job on family day! ;)“

“Quality Pizza with an excellent menu that serves a variety of great eats and a wonderful family owned business❤️“

“The food was delicious 😋 my first time eating there. I always pass it up but this time. I had to have it....“

“We just popped in to try it out and we are absolutely in love with the place! My partner got the spicy tonkatsu ramen, it was a perfect blend of spice and warmth, very filling. I got the unagi bowl and it came with a side of miso soup. I have to say that it was the richest miso I have ever had and was absolutely delicious. Everything is well portioned and the staff were very attentive. I would absolutely recommend me this for a casual lunch or dinner and will be coming back again soon.“

“Great friendly service and great food !“
